    how is the bios in regards to overclocking, is overclocking only allowed for EE processors any information would be great, also how is the quality of the motherboard in regards to overclocking, i plan to be running a 2 485m machine, power supply is also a concern, information in regards to headroom of the psu, the potential of overclocking say a i7 960 or higher would be great.

    I know how to overclock i specifying in regards to how does the hardware react to the overclocking and how far can it be pushed, just clarifying it up encase somebody tells me to raise multipliers.

    so your saying the only way to overclock is with a EE cpu and multplier up, no voltage control at all, nothing can changed except multiplier? just EE processor,wow. 3.6-3.7ghz should be doable. on stock
